was less active to day with, material de-
cline in values throughout the entire list.
The heavy sales In London caused a decline
there which was taken advantage OF by the
bears and traders who are ranged on that
side at present 10 hammer the m ,rket here,
and though there was good demand for
oil the active speclalities, and the general
temper OF the room was conservatively
bullish, the pressure In the afternoon be.
came too great for the limited demand.
There was good borrowing demand for
stocks Of all kinds, and the short interest 10
again believed TO be very large.
The market opened heavy TO weak on
moderate business, with prices generally off
from TO per cent, from the final figures
OF lest evening, but the good dem3nd
caused a fractional reaction In the general
list. This demand soon Stacked of, how
ever, and the steady pressure sageed the
list tff again, though the transactions were
after the first hour on very limited scale
Vigorous dashes were made at the list just
after noon, and again at Up. N, which
brought the llst down to the lowest figures
at about delivery hour. A slight recovery
was made In the last few minutes, but the
